Fietsberaad Vlaanderen asked us to write an article for their knowledge base on how municipalities can get their roads & cycle paths correctly represented in digital maps & routeplanners like Google Maps, Waze, OpenStreetmap, Here, navigation systems, routeplanners, ..

Because we believe it's a relevant topic for cities all over the world, we translated the Dutch version (that can be found in the Fietsberaad Vlaanderen Kennisbank) into English.

The article can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-get-updates-your-roads-cycle-paths-google-maps-waze-morlion

Pieter Morlion launches the concept of Electricity-as-a-Service in Knack / Datanews. He proposes one subscription for energy allowing EU citizens to produce energy wherever and whenever they want. This would allow:
- to charge an electric car no matter where you are and (virtually) use the energy of your solar panels
- login to the elektricity meter in your Airbnb and user your own energy / subscription
- track the energy that is being used for service or consumer goods you buy (aluminium windows, sneakers, an MRI scan)
- decentrally exchange energy with other citizens
- share your energy consumption with the world and link an 'energy score' to subsidies, home insulation and transport for example

MORE LION is working for Fietsberaad Vlaanderen (a non-for-profit advising cities in Flanders on cycling policies & cycling measures) on how to improve bicycle parking at large transport hubs: more efficient, more comfortable, safer. Earlier we founded the Velopark platform together. We have developed a concept together with IMEC, that will be tested soon. This article gives an overview of the current state of affairs (in Dutch)
